A man who tried to rob a DeKalb County package store was killed Tuesday after the store clerk shot him at least three times, police said.

The shooting happened about 8 p.m. at Happy’s Package Store in the 4400 block of Rockbridge Road near Stone Mountain.

A man in a mask and black hooded sweatshirt jumped over the counter where the clerk was seated and demanded money at gunpoint, according to an incident report obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The clerk told police he stood and the man started firing at him.

The clerk took out a silver revolver and returned fire, according to the incident report.
